Unreal Materials - Help!

Hi,
im trying to make a certain part of a texture rotate, Basically i have a big air conditioning unit and i need to make the fans rotate... and im not sure how to make just the fans rotate and on there own axis... any ideas?

Animate the texture you would anything else, save out each frame, and there is a way in unreal (i'm assuming 2.0 but it is probably similar in 3) to stitch together a custom animated texture.

The process i go about to do this in Unreal 2.0 is Make a new shader in the material window, assing it it's proper group and name and such, go down to diffuse and in the animation tab there is a property called animnext - i've seen people have to input eachc frame individually for long animations but there may be a script or importer for them now.

I hope this helps you out

model the fan separate, then add separate, then use kismet to have it rotate
